Beyond 2015
2010 - 2016An advocacy-based campaign, Beyond 2015 brought together civil society organisations around the world to achieve two key goals:
- A global, overarching, cross-thematic framework to succeed the MDGs, reflecting Beyond 2015’s policy positions.
- A participatory and inclusive process to develop this framework, responsive to the voices of those directly affected by poverty and injustice.
